The site can be found at http://www.acf.org/  The American Chestnut foundation is working to restore the American chestnut in the North American landscape by using a backcrossing technique. They introduced chestnut blight resistance genes from the Chinese chestnut  to the American chestnut. By repeatedly backcrossing the off-spring to American chestnut, they hope to make the final product a blight resistant tree that can repopulate the natural range.
